I don't have any info on that since I didn't apply, sorry. I cannot even fathom how a person could get 96 points!!! I mean, good for them but holy cow ?

Yeah that makes me a little nervous ? ?

Letters were sent out September 23rd for the spring 2020 start date. I'm not sure how many applied, but only 90 applicants were given spots. Of the applicants that were offered placement the highest score was a 96 and the lowest was a 76.

So hopefully we only have to wait 23 more days!

Okay that makes me feel better. I’m at 78 points.. I really hope we can all start in Aug! That would be so awesome! Fingers crossed. ??

The range may be a little misleading! We dont know the actual scores of the 90 people that were accepted so it may be have been the one person over 90 points and everyone else 76 to mid-80s, so dont frets too much ? Were you able to find out how many people actually applied for Spring 2020 @krystina_lee3? If there were actually 300-400 applicants than only 90 accepted is crazy!

I don't know the number, but I know that in the past the number of applicants have been in the 300+ range. It's extremely competitive... I just want to start the program already. The waiting is stressful and this may sound silly, but I don't want to have to tell friends and family that I did not get in for a second time.

I wish they'd be more open with statistics for nursing programs. It would make the anxiety about scores a lot less I think... I know how you feel, it's not silly at all! I wasnt accepted into the ABSN program for ASU and the schools here in WA I applied to are lottery based so it's all luck if you get in. I've just been doing school straight the past 6 years and I'm just ready to move on with my life once I'm done with nursing school.

Same here, only I've been going straight through for 4 years. I just want my degree while my kids are still little so I can do family things without school constantly being on my mind.

Exactly. I have a friend that’s currently in the program and she said the average was 76 last semester. So most people were closer to high 70s low 80s. ?

What are you all doing while you wait/this semester? I thought about taking more classes... but then figured if I get in I’d want a break before it’s 24/7 studying lol

I’m retaking bio 201 and the health student success class. I can’t go below 6 credit hours.

That’s a really good idea! I’m a TA for bio 202 right now and it’s a great refresher!

Yeah it’s gonna be super helpful!

I'm taking a break from classes and just working as a CNA at a nearby hospital! Once acceptance letter time comes around and I move down to Tucson I'll probably refresh myself with crash course videos and take nutrition hopefully before the summer ASU classes. I want to try and bring down the course load later down the line so I'm not taking as many classes to free up time.

If anyone knows anyone working or is working at Banner University Medical I'd appreciate a hookup ? (jk jk lol)
